On December 22, New York Magazine uploaded a photo of Taeyang and G-Dragon and included them their “The Best-Dressed Street-Style Stars of 2014” rankings. The caption indicated them as K-pop stars who “caused a frenzy with their crazy hair, gender-bending clothes, and face tattoos.”

G-Dragon and Taeyang were in the ranking along with internationally famous fashionistas such as Taylor Tomasi Hill, who is the former Marie Claire accessories director, and Miroslava Duma, a Russian fashion writer and editor.
